The cloud of yellowish smoke was slowly rolling away, and the man and lad were approaching the shop, which, in spite of the explosion that had taken place in it, was still intact, when an aged man, coming from a handsome house not far off, called out, "Tom, is anyone hurt?" "No, dad. We're all right." "What happened?" "Well, we had another explosion.

Place some milk in a basin; heat it to about 100 degrees F., and add a few drops of acetic acid. Experiment 49.

Suddenly the attention of the crowd was drawn to the approach of the Rupun with a number of soldiers and officers. He seemed depressed. His face was of a ghastly yellowish tint.
